I read up on the bolts to check on CSC's websites. Anything else I should check when the bike arrives?

I'll be coating it in ACF-50 right off the bat, including all wire connections and probably the inside of the switchgear if I can access it. That stuff has served me well through all-weather in the past.

I witness mark many critical bolts on all my bikes (I'm in aviation) so they are easy to catch hopefully before they fall off.

I'll probably use Rotella T6 for oil, that stuff worked fine in my Tiger 1050 and it's pretty inexpensive. I even went so far as to have the oil analysis done to make sure it was ok and it came back great. It's JASO MA approved and doesn't have the detergents that cause clutch slippage like auto oils.

I have concerns for the headlight output as I'll be commuting in deer infested territory at night so I'll probably install some of these which I've used on my previous bikes:

780 lumen pair, they don't blind drivers, produce good output and only use 12w a piece. I used these for over 30k miles in all weather and no failures with either the 780 or 3000 models. I install them with a positap and relay to work with the stock switchgear. They are 69 dollars a pair.
